Description

1930's-70's Charles "Red" Ruffing Photographs Lot of 15.
From the personal collection of New York Yankee pitching great
"Red" Ruffing comes this lot of fifteen photographs. About half
appear to be original period photographs while the other half are
later reprints. One photo includes Babe Ruth in a candid shot
pretending to hit Ruffing over the head with a club. "Boston Police
Dept." has been written on the photo, along with names of those
pictured. Another image is marked on the margin as "1925 Red Sox"
and has an arrow pointing to Ruffing. A 9x14" image shows Ruffing
with his wife holding an "All-American" pillow.

Three of the images are news photographs that have been matted with
captions: 1937 Yankees victory dinner (with Gehrig), 1939 Yankees
team (with Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey) and 1942 A.L. All-Star
pitchers. Two of the reprints feature Ruffing with Gehrig and
DiMaggio. Photos are approximately 8x10" unless otherwise
indicated. Letter of provenance from the Ruffing family.
